That's about where I cheated and changed it to:
chown root:scanner $DEVICE && chmod 0660 $DEVICE
I'm not exactly sure the order parameters are passed to the RUN+
script from udev, so I can't say whether $3 and $4 are actually
correct.
On the other hand, if udev only provides a group, and $3 is that
group, then 'chown $3' is technically wrong and could very well be the
cause.
